The Power of the Pause is a truly life altering skill. I have Irish and Scottish in me so patience is a conscious choice-- it doesn't come naturally. I am enjoying gaining a little more intelligence to go along with the abundance of emotion :) Hope everyone is having an awesome week and truly enjoying the power of the pause!

Emotional intelligence doesn’t grow in dramatic moments — it grows in small, intentional choices repeated every day. Today, I want to invite you to do one simple practice that can profoundly strengthen your emotional awareness: ✨ The One-Minute Pause At least once today — right when you feel a reaction rising — take 60 seconds to pause. During that pause: - Notice what emotion is showing up - Put a name to it (even if it’s imperfect) - Take one slow breath in… and one slow breath out - Then choose a response instead of reacting That’s it. One minute. But here’s the truth: This tiny practice rewires emotional patterns, sharpens self-awareness, and quietly builds the emotional strength we all want. Little things become big things. Small choices become strong habits. Daily pauses become emotional power. I’m proud of the work you’re doing — not because it’s perfect, but because it’s intentional. Let me know in the comments if you’re taking on today’s One-Minute Pause. I’d love to hear how it impacts you. — Mike Lafrance Stronger on the Inside

I was wondering why the written lessons dont show up as done when I clicked next after going through the material. I realized that in order for the course to mark it as finished I had to press the check mark button on the top right of my screen.

So I've been thinking about the ladder of inference and I think that I jump to conclusions almost everytime! It's difficult not to do so! I'm wondering though... if we stay on the 1st or 2nd rung will that make us emotionless? Any thoughts?
